Great great location!!! Access to beach and local restaurants-has everything within walking distant. The view from the living room window is unbelievable. Highly recommend. Great hosts!
This place was perfect for my stay & exactly what I was looking for....an affordable place right next to the beach so can walk the shoreline daily. Plus having ocean breeze & sound of waves at all times in the condo was amazing. Walking distance to a lot of places including Ralphs (few blocks) & even Belmont Park (2 miles away) & lots of shops & restaurants close by. The hosts were super great & helpful. The furnishings are a tad worn & rusty (lamps), but no big deal. The bed & couch are comfy & there are many useful items stocked there, whether they furnished or left by others. Beach towels, toys & chairs (plus an added camp chair for those that can't get up from low beach chairs. You are welcome!), umbrella, sunscreen, after sun gel to name a few. Kitchen is stocked nicely also. Only needed to get a jar opener, which I left there also. Did see a pack & play & a high chair there also for those with babies. Will definitely rent again!
The view cannot be beat. The access to the beach is so convenient. Kitchen was very well supplied with dishes and pots and pans and all utensils and cooking needs like hot pads, kitchen towels , etc. Parking was easy and protected. Also, added bonuses were beach towels, chairs, umbrella , bikes and some beach toys. We were so pleased with the cleanliness and so many extras supplied. There are homeless in the vicinity, but they did not bother anyone and a very common population in San Diego. Also, great beach side sidewalks and walking distance to restaurants and grocery store and pharmacy. Only things I can say that might be a negative to others, is the shower works well but is not user friendly and the decor is dated, BUT very comfortable. The sunset viewing is incredible !
Great property, and the folks who run it, Greg and Riko are sweet. I was out of my conference at noon the day of check in and they let me arrive at 1:30 instead of 3 pm.The only downside was that when I arrived, I was informed that one of the beach cruiser's had been stolen. When I tried to ride the other one, I found that both tires were flat. Although Riko offer to reimburse me for the expense of repairing the remaining cruiser, I didn't want to deal with it. We rented bikes nearby, which was about 100 out of pocket. If the bikes are a deal breaker, probably check before you commit.
This property is directly on the beach and very close to a bunch of local restaurants/attractions in Pacific Beach. The area is very walkable and close to a bus stop for farther trips. Greg and Riko were great hosts and gave us tips for our stay. Their place was very well kept and clean. We hope to stay here again in the future and couldnât have asked for a better vacation!
For a beach lover there is nothing more to wish for .Stunning ocean view , nice and clean condo and close to shopping and restaurants . I had a wonderful stay !
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Greg and Riko's condo. Great location in Pacific Beach and fantastic ocean/sunset views. The condo was clean and comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed (primarily breakfast and cocktails). Cruiser bikes worked great. Beach chairs/towels and small cooler came in handy. No surprises - everything was as described in the listing. I'd definitely recommend to anyone looking to a beach-side stay in San Diego.
Our overall stay was terrific. Easy communication with Greg & Rico. Unit was well equipped and very clean. We would have given it 5 stars, but unfortunately, the elevator was broken for 3 and 1/2 days of our stay. The unit is on the 4th floor, so taking our bags upstairs was rough. Rico and Greg were very kind about it and helped us get our luggage to the unit. They did everything they could to expedite the repairs. But unfortunately it took even longer than they had originally been told. (My husband just had knee replacement surgery, so this did hinder our ability to go out and about as often as we would have liked). Once it was fixed, it was great for the remainder of our stay.
We would love to stay here again and highly recommend the unit.
Bedroom has plenty of storage space with closet, dresser and nightstands. Sadly, it only fits a queen bed, which we knew ahead of time. It would have been even more perfect if it could fit a king size bed, but it just doesnât- oh well!
Everything about our stay was wonderful. The ocean view is spectacular and the location is perfect for tourists and returning guests from the area. The property managers were terrific and were very detailed about just about anything you can think of including any quirks there are. I would love to stay here again on our next trip to San Diego.
This is a lovely remodeled condo with a gorgeous view! You canât beat the location and proximity to all of Pacific Beach. We stayed for a week and attended two concerts at Snap Dragon stadium. Highly recommend taking the train from the balboa station. Condo could use some new bed pillows and blankets. lamps are rusty from the salt air but everything thing works and the kitchen was awesome! We had a lovely stay!
We loved being right on the beach. It was a great location and walking distance to plenty of good places was to eat. The condo was quiet and had plenty of space for us.
A clean, well organized property with a fantastic 180° view of pacific ocean as well as great people watching on the beach, boardwalk, and surf.
I would definitely stay here again in the future.
Came out to spend a week with my family. The unit itself and furniture is as described in other reviews-very old. But since it was expected, I had no problems.The bathroom basin however didn't drain and one stopper didn't open. I notified Riko but didn't ask them to come repair it during our stay. All was well until our final day at 9A when Greg called demanding to know if we were leaving because he wanted his cleaners to come and grab all the laundry as we were still packing and having breakfast. I didn't see it as a big deal until he became increasingly agitated and demanding about his request. When I said that we would be leaving at check out time which is 10 AM, he started to scream at me on the phone. He screamed "I AM TELLING YOU TO HELP ME GODDAMIT!" and hung up. Wow, as he was on speaker, my son heard him cuss us out and neither of us felt very safe finishing out our stay. What a shame. instead of peacefully ending our stay with a beautiful background, we left feeling very unsafe and in shock. I should've known he was unstable when upon check in Greg told us on the phone to arrive when we did because he was waiting for us at the unit. When we arrived he wagged his finger at us saying that we were early. I was so confused at his behavior. It was like we entered the Twilight Zone. LOL. True, the stay was cheaper than other places and location is beach front but I will gladly pay more to feel safe. Having an unstable and weird host was NOT worth saving some money.
Directly on the beach with a spectacular ocean view that never gets old. The place is simply furnished, but while showing some wear in places it is well maintained and spotless. Great value for this location. My 3+ month stay was a joy, and everything just worked. Greg was super responsive whenever anything came up. Hoping to be back soon.
Property owner was great! Kitchen and bath updates wonderful. Comfortable bed. All amenities available. Enjoyed bikes. Couch & chair could use update but overall a nice place.
I loved the place. It was exactly like the advertisement. The landlords were helpful and generous with their time. We would definitely rent the place again.
Great location on the boardwalk with an incredible view of the ocean and Crystal Pier along with surfers, kiteboarders and dolphins. The property is under construction and a little run down but felt overall it was a very good value. We were there for a week and the location is very convenient for excursions around San Diego.
This property is as advertised. Right on the beach with a great view from the 4th floor living room window. Within walking distance to many restaurants, shops, boardwalk vendors and grocery store. Great to have onsite parking (underground garage) as this area is very popular with limited public parking. The property managers were great at communicating with us and worked with us on adjusting our stay dates as there was building upgrade construction going on that would have affected use of the elevator. The apartment itself is older but in good shape. I'm 6'1" and wish they had a king vs queen bed but not that big a deal (may be for those taller than me). Access to cruiser bikes was nice to have and it was also nice to see a security guard walking the property throughout the day and evening. Would highly recommend.
This condo is one of the very few available north of Crystal Pier. It is only two blocks away from the shops and restaurants of Pacific Beach, yet miles away from the noise and bustle of the city.
